Hello, I have a brand new sony cybershot dsc-w310 camera and its worked great for the first 2 days ive had it. Now it doesnt seem to want to turn on. When you press the on/off button, the green power indicator light turns on but absolutely nothing else happens. When you puch the on/off button again the light does not go out. The only way to make the light turn off is to remove the battery for a minute. The battery is definately fully charged. The camera is brand new and I cant find any tro

Canon SD4000 camera, when hitting the power button, the screen remains black screen, the green light blinks twice, lens zooms out, shutter opens. Screen remains black, and I do not seem to have any control at all; pressing the zoom button doesn't move lens, no notable reaction to anything. Hit the power button again, the lens zooms back into it's original position, shutter closes (occasionally does not shut completely), green light blinks twice, screen remains black. Tried turning on w/o SD card

Camera won't power up even with new batteries.When I push the power button the small light on the left side of the ZOOM W/T button lights up briefly and the camera makes a beeping sound three times.

That error can only be caused by dead batteries or stuck/sand in the lens mechanism. So most likely you are having a lens issue. Here is a link that may help you in troubleshooting. If problem persists you should consider repair/replacement: ...

When I use my SD790 in bright light the picture comes out dark now.. when I push the button to take the picture the screen goes from normal to dark. That is what the image ends up looking like ..DARK!! This is on Auto setting as well as manual. :( I love my camera but this is horrible! Missed a lot of good shots at Disneyland because it just would not work!!

My Finepix s5700 will not turn on even with new batteries. I slide the turn on button and the green led lights, but then nothing else happens. If I push the preview button, the pictures appear and I can see them all, but if I try to start shooting, the camera turns off again and the screen remains black. If I try to switch between the shooting programs, nothing happens again. I have the camera for about 3 years and such problem appeared just a few weeks ago.
Thank you in advance for your cooper

Hi, my friend dropped my samsung PL500 camera on the floor in a dusty place. The lens is now stuck however, it turns on, beeps and freezes on a black screen. The on button is lit up blue and the light next to the playback button is green. I'm not sure what to do here as I can not send it off to be fixed because i've been told i might as well 'buy a new one' .. I would like to just easily fix it by myself.

Battery problem This morning I turned on my brand new Nikon Coolpix 5400 and got nothing on the screen. pushed some buttons and still nothing. Went to turn it off and it won't. The lens stays extended and the power light is still on. I don't know if maybe the batteries are so low they can't do anything, but I was under the impression that the camera had an indicator for the batteries really needing to be recharged. The low battery light was on last night, but I haven't seen need to be recharged

Some of these cameras go from "low" to "no" very quickly. The electronics are more sensitive to available voltage than the mechanicals and it doesn't take full voltage to keep an led lit or to retract the lens. But the cpu shuts down. I would have ex ...

My camera is a new purple polaroid 1834, I got it for Christmas. I tried to take a picture the other day and it took one, and then shut down with the lens still out. It will not turn on, and everytime I press the power button a green light flashes and it beeps three times, but nothing else happens. I have tried replacing the batteries with brand new ones..still nothing. I've tried to batteries and everything.What is going on and what can I do to fix it? Is it fixable?

It is fixable but best thing to do is take it back to where you got it for a replacement. Or send it in to Polaroid the lens gears are stuck and the zoom motor sounds like it has gone out. If you have no sucess doing that then let me kno ...

Camera flash i generally use my camera on auto mode so i don't have to play around with buttons! however after loaning my camera to my sister for a week my flash is no longer as great as it was!! I used to take pics and the flash would light 2-3 times giving a great, bright picture. It now flashes once before the pic is snapped giving a dark picture. If i push the flash button on the left side of the scrolling circle it goes from red eye flash (which flashes once) to no flash! I'm almost certain

No worries, I think I can help you with this one.\015\012I believe that if you are using your Samsung Digimax in either "Auto" or "M" mode you will only have the options of "red eye flash" or "no flash". BUT HOWEVER, if you select the "Prog" mo ...

Im really disppointed with my new camera, a Canon Powershot SC10 IS. The lighting in the photos isn't great. I just came from a Christmsa party with my son. The faces look too light and the background looks too dark. What is wrong?

It could be you didn't have the right scene selected. Usually a party there is alot of people in the room and that will cause the room to blurry. There should be a party mode on that camera, select that and that should take care of it. ...

I own a polaroid t730 digital camera. I can take pictures using the existing memory in the camera. As soon as I insert a memory card the camera shuts down except for the red light in the front that comes on and the green light in the back comes on. I am unable to operate any of the buttons while the card is in the memory slot. I have tried 3 different memory cards including a brand new one.

This is a internal hardware issue, so get it fixed from the manufacturer service center ...
